Since moving to Boulder county during July 1989, I have watched both city and county government do some really dumb things, however, the Boulder-Nablus Sister City Project tops the list. Clearly, I strongly oppose the Nablus Project. Note that the Nablus community is a known hotbed of Hamas activity.

If the good citizens of Boulder really want to hang out with terrorists and jihadists, I'm sure that they will find a way in which to do so. However, if the Nablus project goes forward, I will simply take my business elsewhere. Shopping in downtown Boulder is a real pain for openers because of the parking situation. There are lots of other places (e.g. Flatirons Crossing, Cherry Creek, Park Meadows, etc.) that I'm sure will more than welcome my business with plenty of free parking, not to mention better prices, merchandise and variety.

The Boulder City Council needs to think about the Nablus project very carefully before they manage to shoot themselves in the foot, again. What happens in Boulder has an impact on everyone in the region?
